The UK government announced a cash grant to enable the Hatzola charity to purchase four electric ambulances after an arson attack destroyed its fleet. The grant, announced on 30 April 2026 by the Department of Health and Social Care and Health Secretary Wes Streeting, will cover the full cost of the new vehicles, which will replace the four loaned ambulances supplied by the London Ambulance Service. The new ambulances are lighter and include powered trolley beds, powered carry chairs and an integrated scanning system that confirms the vehicle is fully stocked after each patient. London Ambulance Service will continue to loan replacement ambulances until the new fleet is ready. The grant is part of a broader £59 million investment in protecting Jewish communities.
